Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on September 3, 2025 found the facility to be in substantial compliance based on a credible allegation and Plan of Correction following the July 31, 2025 survey, which had multiple deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident care issues such as inadequate assistance with activities of daily living, medication management problems including failure to obtain informed consent for psychotropic medications, and staffing shortages affecting timely response to call lights. Several complaint investigations were substantiated over time, including cases involving physical abuse, medication errors, and failure to provide adequate supervision and respiratory care; however, enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations not related to the July 31, 2025 survey were found to be unsubstantiated or resulted in correction of deficiencies. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with resident care and medication management, with some recent efforts toward compliance but no clear sustained improvement trend.
